About
Situated in a highly desirable, peaceful position on the edge of a popular modern development by Bellway Homes, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached property offers an exceptional blend of country charm and modern comfort.
Positioned well away from passing road and play park noise, the home directly faces open fields, providing beautiful views and immediate access to scenic countryside walks right from your doorstep.
Designed around the demands of contemporary family life, the ground floor delivers generous and remarkably versatile accommodation.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a cozy living room anchored by a rustic log burner that creates a warm, inviting focal point.
To the rear, a substantial open-plan kitchen and dining area serves as the true heart of the home-perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining-complemented by a separate family room, a dedicated study ideal for home working, a practical utility room, and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs, the bright central landing is unusually spacious, offering enough room to easily accommodate a secondary reading nook or seating area.
Arranged around the landing are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite featuring its own private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a sleek, modern family bathroom.
The property continues to impress externally, where a private driveway and garage provide generous off-road parking, and the walled rear garden offers a private, secure, and sun-lit outdoor sanctuary ideal for children to play safely or for outdoor dining on summer evenings.
The location is uniquely appealing for families, positioned within a short, convenient walk of both local primary and secondary schooling.
